[OT]ish suction moulding machine?

["Julian Samphire" <jules@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Odd request I know, but I'm putting the finishing touches to a touch panel
PC and need to smarten the front up a little. I'm thinking back to my old
CDT days in school where we had a machine a few feet square that was used
to
heat and then drop sheets of plastic onto moulds. Letting the plastic cool
down, you'd be left with some rigid plastic in the shape of your mould. I'm
trying to find a simple or cheap version on the web so I can design and
mould a front plate for my device.

If anyone knows a manufacturer or the technical name for such a product,
that'd be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Jules
